Cold Steel 88BKW Japanese Sword (Warrior Series)

The Japanese swords of the Imperial Series have proven since their initial introduction almost two years ago to be quite popular with many of our customers. Still we are aware that there are some people who want a battle ready sword but hope to find one at a more affordable price. Our new Warrior Series addresses this problem directly. In our efforts to reduce the costliness of the blades we have omitted the expensive mirror polishing that we used on the Imperial swords to create a new series of Japanese swords with a more practical finish. The Warrior Series swords are very handsome in their own right and share the same steel heat treatment and sharpness as their more expensive Imperial counterparts. Like the Imperial swords they have SamT covered cord wrapped handles and quality fittings. WARRIOR SERIES: KATANA Specifications: Weight: 40.6 oz. Blade Thick: 9/32 Blade Length: 29 3/8 Handle: 11 3/8 SamT (Ray Skin) black braid cord with brass Menuki Steel: 1050 High Carbon Overall Length: 40 3/4 Sheath: Black Lacquered Wood Scabbard
